An interventional study of Exercise in Coronary Artery Disease, sponsored by Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Sweden. Open to participants aged 80 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-15.
Sponsored by Sahlgrenska University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) aged 80 years and older, with special reference to maximum aerobic capacity, muscle endurance, physical functioning, level of physical activity, health related quality of life, anxiety, depression and endothelial function, compared to a control group.
5,598 studies on the registry are indexed under Coronary Artery Disease; 957 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 34 is below the median of 124 across 3,436 interventional studies indexed under Coronary Artery Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
Individually prescribed hospital based exercise in group two times a week, home-based exercise once a week. The exercise intervention consists of interval based aerobic exercise on a bicycle ergometer 30 minutes with intensity level at 13-17 at Borg scale, resistance exercises and balance exercises
Other: Exercise
Patients are asked to live as usual.
Individually prescribed hospital based exercise in group two times a week, home-based exercise once a week. The exercise intervention consists of interval based aerobic exercise on a bicycle ergometer 30 minutes with intensity level at 13-17 at Borg scale, resistance exercises and balance exercises
Change in maximum aerobic capacity
A maximum exercise test on an electronically braked cycle ergometer, with watts as marker of maximum aerobic capacity.
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in level of physical activity
Level of physical activity will be measured by an accelerometer and an activity diary
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in muscular endurance
Will be measured by three clinical endurance tests including unilateral isotonic heel lift, unilateral isotonic shoulder flexion, bilateral isometric shoulder abduction
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in physical functioning
Including tests of balance: short physical performance battery, one leg standing, timed up and go, and the activities specific balance confidence scale.
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in health related quality of life
measured by a self-rated health questionnaire
Time frame: At baselline and after 4 months
Change in anxiety and depression
measured by the hospital anxiety and depression scale
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in endothelial function
Evaluated with non-invasive ultrasound
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
Change in transthoracic evaluation of resting coronary flow velocity
Time frame: At baseline and after 4 months
